You can use Twitter in China? Btw, how were JAM, LBR, SAM and some others voting here? I understand they were there but decided not to vote...

And another good chart

If you'd like to listen to some good new Polish music I recommend you this music chart, a new edition every Friday evening CET. Enjoy

I doubt Ada Sułek will perform in Paris, she should give birth late January and heptathlon is Aug 8th-9th). Or she performs like Miller-Uibo in Budapest. I hope i'm terribly wrong here and she does a miracle and she will be one of the stories of the games being in - I don't know - Top 8, Top 6... swh close to her PB. Anyway, i have a feeling she will be one of our biggest hopes for LA 28, she will be 29 then.

Are there any additonal quota for race walkers to participate in Mixed Relay only???

If any others from any other NOCs could do sth similar for their NOCs from time to time It would be very helpful. Thanks in advance! I don't know how accurate this source is, relays certainly missing here (W 4x100m 8th; W 4x400m 7th; Mixed 4x400m 7th).

Haven't seen it. Any video for that in the internet???

You can read my mind, my friend

Day 14 Fri 09.08 244. ATHLETICS - W 4x100m Relay 1. United States 2. Jamaica 3. Ivory Coast After all the 100m and 200m and all the NBC hype this is an event which will be remembered for a long time. Jamaicans don't have great first 2 changes and Sha'Carri has a nice lead beginning the anchor leg. Shericka Jackson chasing hard but comes just short. CIV doesn't mess things up like in Budapest and they get awesome bronze. GBR 4th. POL nicely 6th with great anchor leg by Ewa Swoboda. 245. ATHLETICS - W Shot Put 1. Chase Ealey USA 2. Sarah Mitton CAN 3. Auriol Dongmo POR Ealey winning quite comfortably. 246. ATHLETICS - M 4x100m Relay 1. Unites States 2. Jamaica 3. Japan Great run by Japanese sprinters who deny Italians, Jacobs messed things a bit this time and ITA only 4th. 247. ATHLETICS - W 400m 1. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone USA 2. Marileidy Paulino DOM 3. Natalia Kaczmarek POL Great competition between McLaughlin and Paulino. Wonderful medal for POL here, absolutely amazing. Natalia with new NR - 49.21 (previous NR: 49.28 set by Irena Szewińska when she won gold in Montreal 1976). Great traditional finish by Natalia made this bronze possible. This is my "Rebeca Andrade Tokyo-Like Moment" @thiago_simoes. I cherish Polish ind running medals so much, they are so rare... Shaunae Miller-Uibo BAH back in competition but not in such a good form, and this is the main factor that leads 3rd place possible for Poland. If she was running under 49secs and McLaughlin is there, Natalia had no chances. Anyway, 4. Miller-Uibo BAH 5. Williams BAR 6. Klaver NED 7. Adeleke IRL 8. Bolingo BEL. Only one US athlete in the final but she gets gold for Team US. 248. ATHLETICS - M Triple Jump 1. Andy Diaz Hernandez ITA 2. Hugues Fabrice Zango BUR 3. Jaydon Hibbert JAM Havana likes this one... 249. ATHLETICS - W Heptathlon 1. Nafissatou Thiam BEL 2. Katarina Johnson-Thompson GBR 3. Anna Hall USA Hall messes things much and this lets Thiam to get 3rd olympic heptathlon gold in a row, coming back from injury. KJT very emotional in the victory lap, you rarely see anything like that. 250. ATHLETICS - W 10,000m 1. Gudaf Tsegay ETH 2. Sifan Hassan NED 3. Grace Loibach Nawowuma KEN Only first gold for Ethiopia in Paris. What took them so long? I have to check ETH chances again... 251. ATHLETICS - M 400m Hurdles 1. Rai Benjamin USA 2. Karsten Warholm NOR 3. Alison Dos Santos BRA Ha! Benjamin denies Tokyo olympic champ on the last 20m. We've seen Warholm running much faster before but this time he managed to clear all the hurdles according to the rules heh... McMaster 4th for IVB. So no olympic medal for them. 252. BEACH VOLLEYBALL - W Tournament (but it could be M - the schedule is not clear here) 1. Ana Patricia Ramos, Eduarda "Duda" Santos Lisboa BRA 2. Sara Hughes, Kelly Cheng USA 3. Tina Graudina, Anastasija Samoilova LAT Tina - Anastasija get a nice bronze but earlier they put on a furious SF battle against Hughes/Cheng losing 1-2 like in 2023 WCH but only 16-18 in 3rd set. Great BRA - USA final in a wonderful scenery in the evening close to the Eiffel Tower. Beach volleyball gets to be one of the most popular sport in Paris olympics. Deserved that for sure. 253. BOXING - W 50kg 1. Buse Cakiroglu TUR 2. Wu Yu CHN 3. Ingrit Valencia COL 3. Wassila Lkhadiri FRA I need to check COL medal again though... 254. BOXING - W 66kg 1. Busenaz Surmeneli TUR 2. Yang Liu CHN 3. Charlie Cavanaugh CAN 3. Ivanusa Moreira Gomes CPV Turks go mad - 2 wins one by one!!! Ivanusa gets her bronze but i need to check this event once again after Day 16 for sure. Anyway, Ivanusa - cool name. 255. BOXING - M 71kg 1. Sewon Okazawa JPN 2. Vahid Abasov SRB 3. Marco Verde MEX 3. Aslanbek Shymbergenov KAZ 256. BOXING - M 92kg 1. Julio Cesar La Cruz CUB 2. Aziz Abbes Mouhidiine ITA 3. Davlat Boltaev TJK 3. Jack Marley IRL CUB vs ITA - what an amazing bout! Just awesome. Oh, we were waiting for sth like that for so long. Boxing is back, many say. This final will be still talked about when boxing finals will get started at Warsaw 2044 olympics... 257. BREAKING - W Ind. 1. India Sardjoe aka India NED 2. Dominika Banevic aka Nicka LTU 3. Liu Qingyi aka 671 CHN LTU would prefer to get a basketball medal but if it is denied, they celebrate what is possible. POL would love to celebrate M high jump medal but if it is denied... Or wait, Norbert Kobielski made it to the Saturday final, let's see what he can do... 258. CANOE SPRINT - M K2 500m 1. Portugal 2. Hungary 3. Germany First gold for Portugal in Paris. 259. CANOE SPRINT - W C1 200m 1. Yarsleidis Cirilo CUB 2. Lin Wenjun CHN 3. Nevin Harrison USA CHN and USA athletes are so focused on each other that they let a third one get gold here. Fans dancing Salsa in the stands. 260. CANOE SPRINT - W K2 500m 1. Denmark 2. New Zealand 3. Poland Carrington denied another gold by Dannish girls. A nice bronze for Poland here. 261. DIVING - W 3m Springboard 1. Chen Yiwen CHN 2. Chang Yani CHN 3. Maddison Keeney AUS Canada surprisingly 4th here (Pamela Ware), a new experience for them. 262. FOOTBALL - M Tournament 1. France 2. Spain 3. Brazil FRA gets gold after 92nd minute goal. This is one of the most cherished French gold medals in Paris. 263. HOCKEY - W Tournament 1. Netherlands 2. Australia 3. Argentina Final is good but bronze medal game even better. ARG win over GER after furious fight. 264. RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS - W Ind. All-Around 1. Darja Varfolomeev GER 2. Sofia Raffaelli ITA 3. Daria Atamanov ISR First non-judo medal for Israel in Paris. Seems like they are good not in the combat sports only, you know... I have a feeling I need to check back my W windsurfer predictions though. 265. SPORT CLIMBING - M Boulder/Lead 1. Jakob Schubert AUT 2. Tomoa Narasaki JPN 3. Jesse Grupper USA First gold for Austria here. 266. SWIMMING - M 10km Marathon 1. Florian Wellbrock GER 2. Oliver Klemet GER 3. Domenico Acerenza ITA GER 1-2 here. 267. TABLE TENNIS - M Team 1. China 2. Japan 3. Korea Rep. TPE 4th after very surprisingly beating GER in QF. 268. TAEKWONDO - M 80kg 1. Simone Alessio ITA 2. Seif Eissa EGY 3. Daniel Quesada Barrera ESP 3. Saleh ElSharabaty JOR 269. TAEKWONDO - W 67kg 1. Magda Wiet Henin FRA 2. Jie Song CHN 3. Julyana Al-Sadeq JOR 3. Sarah Chaari BEL First ever JOR woman with an olympic medal. 270. TRACK CYCLING - M Sprint 1. Harrie Levreysen NED 2. Nicholas Paul TTO 3. Jair Tjon En Fa SUR This is only 3nd olympic medal for SUR, after 2 medals for Nesty in Seoul. 271. TRACK CYCLING - W Madison 1. France 2. Great Britain 3. Italy Poland sadly 4th here. Missing this bronze by an inch... FRA wins a very important gold here in this battle vs Team GB for a 3rd place in medal tally. 272. WEIGHTLIFTING - M 89kg 1. Karlos Nasar BUL 2. Mirostafa Javadi IRI 3. Keydomar Vallenilla VEN 273.

Meirambek Kartbay KAZ JPN only 5th here. 275. WRESTLING FREESTYLE - M 86kg 1. David Taylor USA 2. Hassan Yazdani IRI 3. Azamat Dauletbekov KAZ 3. Javrail Shapiev UZB No medal for SMR here (Myles Amine). 276. WRESTLING FREESTYLE - W 57kg 1. Tsugumi Sakurai JPN 2. Anastasia Nichita MDA 3. Helen Maroulis USA 3. Elvira Kamaloglu TUR Anzhelina Lysak POL loses bronze medal vs Maroulis. Bronze-medal game in FOOTBALL - W Tournament: beats 3-1 Bronze-medal game in VOLLEYBALL - M Tournament: beats 3-1 Other Team Sports: BASKETBALL - W Semis beats beats and we USA vs CHN final on the last day. HANDBALL - M Semis beats relatively easy beats by 1 goal only WATER POLO - M Semis beats both M and W HUN water polo teams in the finals beats after overtime

Warsaw 2044....We will come back to this thread in 2044 and I will tell you: Ha! I told you first :-)

Can't agree more.

Thanks, this link is very helpful...

Oh, that would be awesome, that would be a first ever olympic gold medal for Poland in canoeing and we already have 22 (!!!) medals in this sport (8 silver, 14 bronze). Karolina Naja has 4 olympic medals already (1 silver: Tokyo K2 500m, 3 bronze: London K2 500m, Rio K2 500m, Tokyo K4 500m) - one of the greatest but not so well-known athletes in Poland these days, I hope you are right in your predictions and I am terribly wrong here...

And how are you @Braulio everything ok?

So PLE country possible in future i guess West Bank - Gaza land with No gap between them - it will never happen

I know nothing ofc here but i don’t think ISR ever decides to give up a direct access to the Red Sea. Eliat is too important here

@Giovanni Gianni Cattaneo no reason to laugh that's Caltanissetta, you know

Can someone remind me please why Lisa Carrington didn’t participate in K2 500m in 2023 WCH???

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news US hits sites in Syria as Gaza aid 'barely trickles in World War Three in the making or Just Another Day in the Middle East ???

After end of Day 16 I will come back to square one and try to do sth like this (with my prediction updates)... Or i won't do that because I won't have time or I will get bored with this thread, who knows... Day 1 Sat 27.07 1. DIVING - W Synchro 3m Springboard 1. China Q 2. United States 3. Great Britain Q 4. Italy Q 5. Mexico 6. Canada 7. Australia 8. France Q Similar results to 2023 WCH, but this time USA will be able to repeat their qualifying score in the final
